NEWS HIGHLIGHTS OF 1 9 5 8
Top News Events of the Year! America draws abreast of the USSR in space research, putting its first satellite the Explorer, into Orbit. And sending two rockets some 70,000 miles, the fartherest yet attained - in attempts to reach the moon. The cruise of the Nautilus entered the saga of the sea. The nuclear sub went, submerged, from Hawaii to Britain under the North Pole itself!
A new State was admitted and Alaska celebrated its long awaited acceptance in the Union with jubilation reminiscent of sourdough days!
Vice-President Richard Nixon and Mrs. Nixon toured South America and barely escaped injury as the result of mob violence in an atmosphere feverish with anti-Americanism in Lima and Caracas.
The Man of the Year: General Charles De Gaulle who emerged from the shadows - at the hour of his country's greatest crisis to become leader of the new Fifth Republic - swept to power by overwhelming popular vote.
America won a triumph on the cultural front in the Cold War at the Brussels Fair, with a widely-acclaimed architectural gem of a pavilion in sharp contrast to a looming Soviet monolith.
Russia had the initiative in the global power struggle. Khrushchev's overtures to Egyptian strong-man Gamal Abdel Nasser was followed by the formation of the United Arab Republic plus months of turmoil and crisis in the explosive Middle East. Iraq's King Faisal was slain during uprising. Rebellion-torn Lebanon appealed to America and U.S. Marines went to the rescue to bolster the government. The Middle East crisis subsided as Red China launched a staggering artillery assault on Chiang's off-shore outposts on the Quemoy Islands. Nationalist China, backed by the mighty U.S. 7th Fleet, broke the blockade by barrage and at the year's end pressure shifted to Berlin, as a Soviet ultimatum demanding that the Big 3 surrender the Free City to the Red ruler's of the puppet State of East Germany.
One of the world's greatest proponents for Peace and Freedom - Pope Pius XII died in 1958. His successor Pope John XXIII, was crowned with all the pomp and ceremony of the Church's millenia-old tradition, assuming the Papal Crown at a time of continuing crisis.

In those days, the Army was the bulwark of the young nation's defense. But in the years and the wars that followed, the mighty Sister Services of the Navy and the Air Force came into being and developed equal stature. Today, the three services operate under a unified command, working together as the Armed Forces of the United States. Together, they share new weapons brought forth by the era of missiles and nuclear arms and contribute their resources to the military exploration of the new world of outer space. The Armed Forces form a mighty, flexible shield which by its very existence deters the sinister designs of the forces of aggression. The Big picture pays tribute to the Army, Navy, and Air Force who form a valiant team that continues to discharge with glory its great and proud responsibilities -- the common defense of the United States.
